They understand more of what is going on in the show and do not have as many questions as a viewer who has no knowledge of the comics. It helps provide the viewer a better understanding of the characters as well as the plot. Having knowledge of the comics allows the viewer to have a sense of connection with the show. Vision and the Scarlet Witch #6 (1986) by Steve Englehart Image of Scarlet Witch from Google Images Towards the very end we see a hexagonal shape which references the shape of the town Wanda has controlled as well as the name of her powers in the comics, called hexes. Hart tells Vision that there is chaos in his household because everything is going wrong and that is a nod to Wanda’s powers in the comics, called chaos magic, that allow her to make this alternate reality. This show is heavily based on that comic. The label of the wine bottle reads Maison du Mepris which translates to House of Misery in french and is a reference to House of M by Brian Michael Bendis (2005), a comic where Scarlet Witch loses her mind and creates an alternative reality where everyone gets what they want. Furthermore, Wanda calls Vision a meat tenderizer and hands him the tenderizer which looks like Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, referencing Vision’s ability to lift the hammer. The Vision #7 (2015) by Tom Kingĭuring the dinner party scene, which itself is a nod to the Vision and the Scarlet Witch #6 by Steve Englehart (1986) where the couple host a Thanksgiving dinner, Vision is called dense by his boss as a way of referencing Vision’s ability to alter his density. Finally, it is a nod to the comics where Wanda calls Vision a toaster after getting into an argument with him in Tom King’s The Vision #7. The reason for that is because that event led Wanda to go to Hydra and get in touch with the mind stone. Second, it is part of the six commercials which can be compared to the infinity stones due to their nature, which would make this commercial the mind stone. First off, it represents the missile that destroyed Wanda and Pietro’s childhood home as seen later in the show. This commercial has so much significance to unpack. 1 advertises the Toast-Mate 2000 by Stark Industries. Vision and the Scarlet Witch #1 (1985) Steve Englehart The Vision #7 (2015) by Tom King The Vision #2 (2015) by Tom King If Wanda had taken Vision’s last name in the show, she would be Wanda Vision, which is why the title of the show is so creative. Later on, as Agnes and Wanda are planning Wanda’s anniversary, the phone rings and Wanda answers, “Vision residence.” This is a reference to Tom King’s The Vision where Vision’s mailbox reads, “The Vision” symbolizing that the family has taken on his name rather than the Maximoff last name. Not only is the plant a nod to the comics, but so is the brooch which she can be seen wearing. Agnes/Agatha can be seen giving Wanda a plant as a housewarming gift which is a direct nod to Tom King’s The Vision #7 (2015) where Agatha gives Wanda and Vision a magical plant as a gift which allows a person to see into the future. Later in the episode, we meet Agnes, Wanda’s neighbor whom any reader of the comics knows to be Agatha Harkness. This shot is similar to a panel in the comics in which Wanda and Vision are driving to get to their new home. Episode 1’s opening theme shows Wanda and Vision driving in their car as a newlywed couple. And this enjoyment kicks in at the very start of Episode 1, in 1950s sitcom land where Wanda and Vision are living blissfully in Westview. A re-watching of WandaVision is richly rewarded since Marvel is known to bury clues and Easter eggs for fans of the MCU and of the comics to find and enjoy.
